FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD – Pastor Chris
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God (Ephesians 3:19).
Ponder again what we just read; do you realize what it means to be filled with all the fullness of God? That means every part of you—spirit, soul, and body—is completely immersed in God and inundated with God. You’re replete with God. The word “fullness” here is translated from the Greek “pleroma,” meaning “replete,” indicating a maximum load with nothing left out. Thus, you’re complete, full, and whole in God. You’re filled with the maximum load of God!
In Colossians 2:10, Paul affirms, “And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power.” You are “pleroo”—complete in Him. Your whole being, every fibre of your existence, is now replete with Christ. This is the life of the Christian. This reality means that as Christians, we’re united with Christ in such amazing profundity. We’re not only filled with Christ, but we are His body.
Ephesians 1:22-23 further explains this; it says, “And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all.” The Church, the body of Christ, is the fullness of Him who fills everything. Christ fills everything, and as the Church, we are the embodiment of that fullness. Christ is in us, and we are in Him. No wonder Ephesians 5:30 says, “For we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.”
The Greek word translated members is “melos,” and it means limbs. This speaks of our intimate union and inseparable oneness with Christ. We’re not separate from Him; we’re one with Him. This union is so complete that it removes any possibility of sickness, disease, or failure. I mean, think about it: If you’re replete with Christ, where will sickness or disease come from? How can anything unclean exist in you when the fullness of Christ fills every part of your being?
His life flows in you; this is the true essence of Christianity. Every day, walk in the consciousness that Christ fills every part of your life. He is not just with you, but He’s in you, and you’re in Him. His fullness is your reality, and you’re to live according to that reality.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for revealing to me the truth that I am filled with the fullness of Christ. I am replete with you—spirit, soul and body, being inseparably one with you. Sickness, disease, failure and defeat have no place in my life, because I am complete in Christ. I walk in this fullness every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Colossians 2:9-10;
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Ephesians 1:22-23 AMPC;
And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church], Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].
1 Corinthians 6:1
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
